I built a blimp from parts we had sitting around the office, and a number 1 birthday balloon.  Leo helped me build the whole thing.  Leo seemed to not be afraid of it, and would even follow it around.

You'll notice at the start, this is purely harassing Leo - for which I am not incredibly proud.  But I assure you if he was truly bothered, he would have hidden in my shirt.  Later on, you can see Leo following it around.

The blimp's total mass is around 10 grams (Leo is 10x heavier), and the motors came from pagers - each motor is a little bigger than a tic-tac.

Any time Leo came near the tiny blimp motors, I would cut the power.
